Abstract:

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which in recent years has shown a clear upward trend of incidence and prevalence in the general population. The symptoms of EoE are very heterogeneous as well as therapy management of this entity which often causes problems in the clinical approach to the patient. Adults most often suffer from dysphagia, while children usually present non-specific symptoms such as food refusal, vomiting, nausea, etc.. Currently, we have many therapeutic paths that change the course of the disease, but high expectations are also placed on new biological drugs. This publication attempts to summarize the current state of knowledge about epidemiology, age-related clinical presentation, and therapeutic strategy of eosinophilic esophagitis.
